Carri

/ˈkæri/ noun

Definition

Plural of carro, a type of cart or wagon used in Spanish and Portuguese-speaking regions.

Etymology

From Spanish and Portuguese carro, derived from Latin carrum meaning 'cart' or 'chariot,' which likely came from Celtic origins related to wheeled vehicles.

Kelly Says

The word 'carri' shows how the same Latin root spread across Romance languages with slightly different forms—Spanish kept 'carro' while French changed it to 'char' and Italian to 'carro,' each language twisting the ancient Celtic word in its own direction.
